When Can I Start Yoga Post-Op?

I miss yoga so much and I'm eager to get back to it. I always had to modify the asanas like crazy, but it always felt good. I plan to ask my bariatric nurse at my July appointment, but when did others start back?

How far post op are you?

  • Author

3 weeks 1 day.

I would say if you feel comfortable and its not too strenuous, or pulls any muscles or feels weird, go for it. I was cleared to walk/stretch right away, and most everything else at I think 8 weeks?

I asked my doctor about both taekwondo and yoga and he said 2-4 weeks, depending on how you feel and when you think your body is ready. I've started back to taekwondo as of yesterday and I'm doing well after 2 classes. Haven't started yoga back yet, but only because I do that on Fridays. Just take it easy and modify where you need to.

Forgot to say I'm exactly 3 weeks out today as well.
